And yet
His men are, even now, guarding your walls!
Father, you cannot, you shall not—

FITZWALTER

Oh, be silent!
Who wrapt me in this tangle? Are you bent
On driving me out in my old age to seek
Shelter in caves and woods?

ELINOR

My good Fitzwalter,
It has not come to that! If you will trust me
All will be well; but I must speak a word
With Robin Hood.

FITZWALTER

You!

ELINOR

Oh, I have a reason.
Your daughter knows his hiding place.
